Dirty Laundry

Vancouver International Writer’s & Reader’s Festival

I was very grateful to have been invited to Calgary Wordfest and I am equally grateful to be reading at the Vancouver’s International Writer’s & Readers Festival this week.

If you’re in town, come by and say hello!

My readings are as follows:

Wednesday, October 21st

No clichéd teen tales here. Screenwriter Don Calame perfectly channels the adolescent male’s obsession with the female. Robyn Harding draws from her own experiences as a teenager and the utter embarrassment at even having parents, let alone parents who have sex. Harding’s My Parents Are Sex Maniacs and Calame’s Swim the Fly face the topics of burgeoning adolescent sexuality and awareness with hilarity, tenderness and understanding.

Cariboo-born novelist Robyn Harding has completed a television pilot, has five novels under her belt, and continues to work both as author and screenwriter. Don Calame has just completed his first novel, after a successful career as a screenwriter whose film projects include Employee of the Month and Hounded and who has worked with Marvel Studios, the Disney Channel, Lionsgate, Universal Studios and Paramount. How do novelists approach writing for the screen, or screenwriters work to create a story without pictures? This is your chance to ask two successful storytellers who work with both forms.
